Ending

The love we thought would never stop
now cools like a congealing chop.
The kisses that were hot as curry
are bird-pecks taken in a hurry.
The hands that held electric charges
now lie inert as four moored barges.
The feet than ran to meet a date
are running slow and running late.
The eyes that shone and seldom shut
are victims of a power cut.
The parts that then transmitted joy
are now reserved and cold and coy.
Romance, expected once to stay,
has left a note saying GONE AWAY.

Gavin Ewart 1916-1995

Twinkle twinkle

Darling, darling little star,

How often I gaze upon your bars,

Up in the big night sky,

Never lonley, Never shy,

Darling, darling little star,

Shining up there way by Mars.

So much depends upon...

So much depends upon
trees swaying
in the breeze,

sand under
your bare feet,

walking on beach,
paradise.
